PF Cadres Attack Soweto Female Trader
Suspected Patriotic Front cadres on Saturday brutally beat up a female Soweto trader with her children and accused them of being UPND cadres.
Speaking at the UPND secretariat, Agness Ndhlovu, who was barely audible because of the swollen face and black eye she sustained from the attack, condemned the violent conduct of the cadres at the market. Her son also sustained a cuts and various swellings on his body for trying to protect his mother from the attackers. “I have been a marketeer for 30 years and my two sons help me. One of them is actually a university student.
I arrived as usual in the morning, offloaded my tomatoes from the truck and then Bright Mumba, the Soweto PF chairman, told me to pack up and go saying he was banning me,” she explained. Ndhlovu said she asked Mumba why he was stopping her from trading and instead of responding to her query, he shouted ‘order!’ and within seconds, a group of about 12 men begun to destroy her property. Afterwards, Ndhlovu said one of the men tripped her from behind, causing her to fall in a pool of mud. She said the man punched her face and dragged her through the mud as passers-by merely watched until her sons came to her aid.
“My sons arrived and these cadres turned and now started to beat my sons with planks. My children were badly beaten and these guys picked up one of my boys and drove off with him,” she said amidst sobs. Ndhlovu said Mumba and his group took one of her sons to the police station and dressed him in a UPND T-shirt and accused him of attacking people at Soweto market.
“But the police refused to take him into custody and handed him back to these thugs and they continued to beat my son and brought him to me with a deep cut on his head,” narrated Ndhlovu.

Sad indeed. But if the UPND have substance in their claims that their vote was stolen, let them go to court rather than sponsor defenceless women to haul insults at the PF.
Serious voters know that a person who drinks beer is FAR BETTER THAN A TRIBALIST WHO IS A SATANIST, who for many years never smiled until Edith Nawakwi exposed HH that he never smiles. This is what forced HH to start grinning, NOT smiling.

Unye Pantu Naiisa Diarrhoea (UPND) should not cry when they are beaten. We gather they had brutally beaten a humble and innocent man a few days before the elections, The brutality occurred in the presence of the top UPND officials, who actually encouraged the carders to do so. This man only advised them that UPND may not win the January 2015 elections because it was in the term of PF. Now it has come to pass that UPND did not win the elections. How can UPND hope to win when they can not take any advice? The UPND looked to have improved because of Wynter Kabimba’s instruction to his Rainbow minions to vote for Hakainde Hichilema, which they did BUT STILL FAILED TO BEAT PF.
The coming 2016 elections will see the Ngonis, Bembas and most Lozis voting for PF because the Tongas have been so tribal, always voting for Hakainde Hichilema, a tribalist and worse still, a SATANIST.
All these trickles of saying the so and so have resigned from PF and joined Rainbow, is a Cartel plan to make it look like people have lost interest in the PF. All the Rainbow minions voted for HH and they have been instructed not to leave PF at once but to leave in piece-meal so that blind people may be fooled that the PF has no support. These had already left PF long time ago, they are only hanging around to destroy the PF’s name by resigning a few at a time. PF is still very strong and UPND’s performance will be very poor if the killer, Kabimba, will stand in 2016. All Kabimba’s few followers will vote for him, though he will not win as well.
We used to have Dean Mung’omba, B.Y. Mwila, Humphrey Mulemba, Akashambatwa Mbikusita Lewanika, all far much better people than Kabimba, did they win? Kabimba is wasting his time together with his Cartel TV Stations and Tabloids.

Hamakuba are u suggesting that lawlessness should be encouraged? Should different political factions beat each other up until only the strong survive? we will end up with a chaotic situation if we start thinking like you.

Zango, far from it. My comment means that you can not go to equity with dirty hands. If violence has to stop, then EVERYBODY MUST CEASE FIRE! But if one party today feels it can beat up anyone opposed to it, when its own are beaten, it must not cry foul. Beating or violence must be stopped, regardless of who is involved. My comment was prompted because research revealed that the UPND woman who was beaten had a monopoly of rowdily insulting the PF continuously, out from the blues. She would start hauling insults at the PF wildly, and included the PF President Edgar Lungu. So as you know, word went round and the PF vinyele(carders)resorted to their own adrenalin style to instil some sanity in the sponsored insulter!

Tutu, get on the ground and find out the truth before commenting. This woman was a champion at shouting out insults at the PF, not even fearing His Excellency. Anywhere in the world, such people get beaten by emotional carders.

The police had already known that she was insulting the PF including the PF President. So I suspect the police may have wrongly thought she deserved it forgetting they had a duty to protect her.

What is happening? Where are we going? Killing innocent people? A president from the east tolerating easterners being butchered during daylight by known mentioned people? May God and his son Jesus intervene to save the woman and her sons.
Can it be true that he does not come from the east but Malawi?
Non action will end up confirming the claims.
Iam sure justice will prevail, if not then we will see people taking laws into their own hands and eventually turn Zambia into a terrorist state.
The agrieved may turn into terrorists if this evil is not stopped by the present govt.
Iam afraid the future of our nation is not okay with such developments.
The mentioned party risks breeding a bad seed and suffer the consequences forever.
Will this continue to be tolerated by all affected people?

Like one Tabloid used to put it, some people, especially our UPND supporters, only see tribe and regionalism in EVERYTHING. Its sad. We people are one and no one choses to be bone in a certain tribe. We are only born into tribes by accident when two sinners connive under the guise of lust or or is it love, and they sweat to produce us.
